If you want a big sound, I'd vote for the Taylor Baby.

I've got the RNP its the nicest piece of gear I own. It has improved my signal chain one thousand percent and I ONLY paid $500. You must own some really horrible gear. Are you talking about a soundcard's mic pre? Taking into consideration that a mackie 24 by 8 can be had for $2,000, "only" $500 for...

I rarely do not use the SUPERNICE setting. Be careful with the release times. On bass, I usually go 8:1 ratio, and reduce about 8 db depending on the bass sound and song. Everything else I usually use a different compressor. On vocals, try the attack at about 9 O clock, and the release at about 2 O ...

You can find MXR graphic eq's for $50. You can also find the Sharc units at this price, and that will give you a bunch of other features with it. You get what you pay for.

The RNP.

Great for anytime you want lifeless recordings.

Go fuck your mother. Now that's real constructive. This is your response to someone pointing out your possible conflict of interest(s)? You missed the point. I have found applications for the mackie line, and perhaps other than your endevours in artistic display, you haven't. And by the way, nice n...

Yes, the C1 does have that gentle rise to it in the top end, but that is by design. Singing a bit off axis helps if you need it, or a 2 to 3 dB cut at about 8 to 10Khz can also help. The top end sibilance ain't good for vocal apps, but it does sound great on the underside of a snare drum. It does a...

If I could digress for a second (and with all due respect to Deja V.U.)... As an opinion, I can't tell: I don't have an RNP. As a TapeOp message board-er guy, I think the tone probably just lost someone half (or more) of the potential clients that have read, or will read these remarks (unless you j...

Also, there's a closeout on them at http://www.pmiaudio.com/ for only $117. Hold on there.... We are no closing them out, but we do from time to time sell of demo gear that we have been using at shows that we cant sell as new, but they are no being closed out. Anyway, thanks, the VTB1 is a decent l...

The reason I suggested the SM7 is for it's killer sounding proximity effect. It's clean, and James Earl Jonesish. How's the MD21's bass response when you get real close to it?

lol...

Star Wars Kid (sorry, I don't have the links), Gunther, and Supagreg should be pre req's here.

If you are going after the RCA sound, the AEA is hard to beat, and only $900 NEW. A very great value for ribbons.

Fair enough... Not everyone will agree on everything. It's good to hear from someone that actually uses the unit. I used 4 different RNP's over a month's time. Now, it IS possible I had 4 bum units, but if they all sucked on the same power, with the same cables as the other pre's I used, they need s...

Correct, I have not used the old Oktava mics. I have used the ML-52.

Guitar based huh?
